Thank you. A somewhat more helpful timeframe.

Sorry if this has already been asked, I looked but didn't see anything. What are the "hours" of SF during these Covid times? I know in the past I would usually arrive after dark and stay until 2 am. Thanks for the info.

The street activity starts shutting down at around 10:30 pm and is mostly gone by 11 pm. The clubs close when they close.

A lady friend who lives just outside of Bogota tells me only if you do not have a negative PCR. I'm assuming within 72 hours, but I am guessing. Time to research the new rules. Really does not look like I will be returning to Colombia before April at the earliest and even that may be too optimistic.

It looks like people entering Colombia are asked to isolate themselves for 2 weeks. Implemented yesterday.

Not true, your missing a lot of key information.

Thats a lot of legwork, thanks for reporting back albeit on a negative experience. There's learning in it too.
Are you working, photoprepagos, mileroticos, skokka, doncolombia and other such sites to order in?

I'd like to but I'm not particularly good at screening. Any tips? In the past I've just used agencies like La Celestina.

Have gone to SF the past two nights. Nothing significant to report. Due to everyone being on vacation only 2 clubs had any decent number of chicas running around (Atunis and Troya). Last night it was just Atunis after 10 pm. Troya was pretty dead. Police are everywhere to enforce quarantine, but that just means they are locking up shops and getting girls off the streets. Hustlers will still bring you inside the clubs.

Also on Tuesday a curfew goes into effect for Usaquen, Engativa, and Suba from 8 pm to 5 am daily. It is supposed to last until January 18. Those are in the northern part of the city, but I wouldn't be surprised if the mayor changes the rules in the coming days. We all saw this coming so it is what it is.

From El Tiempo Today:

"Travelers who do not have the PCR test must state in writing, on the form provided for it, their difficulty in taking the test at the place of origin or obtaining the results in the times stipulated for the flight. In these cases, once entering the country, the traveler must undergo the PCR test and keep preventive isolation for 14 days. Isolation may end sooner if the test result is negative. Both the value of the test and the costs derived from the preventive isolation, will be in charge of the traveler ", explains the resolution in its technical annex.

Was great showing you around-- I just want to say that there are no guarantees -- I feel Santa Fe is relatively safe-- if you take proper precautions.

But-Shit Happens-- One reason it is safe is the police presence and the Venezuelans (majority of people in SF) face deportation for criminal activity.

Woodman,

I am traveling solo and would appreciate it if I could get a introduction to the area. Thanks in advance!

Gentlemen, another trip update coming in hot:

I woke up this morning feeling particularly motivated and, against my better judgment, decided to see if the casas in Chapinero were open. I figured what the hell since SF isn't going anywhere.

I took an Uber from my hotel to Chicas Milenio only to find it was closed. From there I walked south stopping at every casa until I reached La 64 (the North to South list is on Routard's Guide from 2018). Yes, you read that correctly. Every single one for a total of 19. Only two casas were open and it isn't even worth sharing because the talent was absolutely atrocious. PM me if interested both honestly not worth your time.

Refusing to give up, I hopped in another Uber and went to La Mezzanine only to find two girls working. They weren't bad. One was a solid 6. 5, had a great body and pretty face. The other was a soft 5 with a good body but not so pretty face. I almost went with the 6. 5 but, after all my efforts thus far through Chapinero, I refused to settle.

Ever more determined, I hopped in another Uber to Abadubai Spa. Ole' reliable. Except this time she wasn't so reliable as she was closed. Sad face. At this point I'm thinking, "well I'm already in the north and anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Moderation is for cowards. " So, I walked to Colorin, Isis, Lido, and Loutron. All closed. Skipped Absolut because I am not a fan of their general price to quality ratio. It is worth noting that Colorin had a sign on the door that said call for an appointment but I wasn't interested. Disclaimer: I expect Lido to be open later but I was walking by around 3 pm so the gates were closed and no guard was standing outside. Loutron was completely locked up and no one in sight.

Ever the wiser, I hopped in an Uber back to my hotel.

Before anyone says, "why didn't you call the places?" let me stop you right there. I did. Several of them. But today was about the journey, the experience, and the exercise.

Takeaways:

- My last Uber driver confirmed what other members have already said here. Most places will be closed until after January 6th. He said next weekend will be much better overall as people come back from vacation and the January 6th holiday, but many Colombians are gone through much of January. On the bright side, there is minimal traffic.

- My reliable waiter from SF the other night told me that some of the clubs will be open, so heading there later on. Report on that will come later.

- I'm going to stick to SF until next weekend because most places will be closed. Since I've done my long walk this trip, I'll be calling the places I want to visit (Abadubai and Loutron) early next week to see if they're open.

- Most importantly, I found a good place to watch football tomorrow.

Cheers,

TIA.

Is there anything going on today, chicas or otherwise?

Quiet as hell out here. I was super grateful that an exito mini was open so that I could get some food. There is nothing else open.
